You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

About This Quote

Play is an important part of life. It helps us build our skills and it gives us an opportunity to step outside of our comfort zones. It also helps us learn about our strengths and weaknesses. When you are playing, you don’t need to worry about what to say or how to act.

You just need to play. When you are talking, you need to think about what you are saying and how you are saying it. However, when you are playing, your mind is free to concentrate on the game and think about other things.

This quote plays on the idea that we can discover more about a person in an hour of play than we can learn in a year of conversation.
